The best part is they are right. MSFT is called out on here so it's fair game for their antics to be called out and people know how "me too" they've been while Sony has been steadfast with their message.
I don't see why anyone wouldn't at least respect or like what Sony has been shooting for with PS4. They have their act together. I know that may be tough for some to swallow.

Not classy, not cool.
Not useful or informative.
I did not like and would score accordingly 1/10.

Unnecessary. It was funny before, but now? Eh.
They're ripping on a company for changing their minds in favor of the gamer. Yeah, good burn, Sony. You really showed them.
If Microsoft came out and said "We paved the way with Kinect, unlike the other guys with their "eye" on us", people wouldn't think it's that funny.

To be honest, I miss the days when Sony and MS would attack each other more. I find it amusing.

Doesn't really matter, good for a laugh I guess?
After all, I think we're all in agreement that MS is making changes for the better. I'd rather have them make these changes for our benefit and take a few jabs than to have stuck to their original plan.

It was funny the first time, now it feels kind of forced.

When you do a 180 on so many of your anti-consumer policies because the pre-order numbers weren't up to snuff, you better be prepared to be the butt of all jokes. It was a justified dig.
First of all it's true and any criticism of Microsofts capriciousness is fair and valid at this point. Second it's a wise move to exploit your competition's apparent lack of core convictions to differentiate yourself from them. It was a great opportunity to remind consumers and the media of the recent contrast between a seemingly rudderless and reactionary Microsoft and a new Sony that has a certain mission informed by fan and developer input and they intend to stick by it.
Totally appropriate and necessary in my opinion.

Microsoft deserves to hear about this until the end of time. The fact that they thought those policies were a good idea in the first place...
That said, it's totally fine for someone to turn around and say the same thing about Sony's embarrassing PS3 moments...

Naturally. MS dun goof'd, so we get to joke about it for a while.
Unless you hate fun, then that's another story.

And this.
Edit: Except for expecting class from Sony. They've always talked a lot of shit.
That's why I have a ps4 preordered. These comments only serve the people who have already made up their minds. It's fruitless.

Saw it as them saying hey guys we did it first remember? We really love you.
This is pretty good spin, keep it up! I especially like the "updating their policies part. Can they "update their policy" and reduce the price by $100?

Ehhh... it felt a little tacky, especially considering that if Microsoft continues walking back their terrible decisions their console could end up a better one than Sony's (a Kinect-less XBONE could be cheaper and have debatabley better known exclusives).
Smack talk is always a dangerous road to travel, which is why it's generally avoided.

Those policies should have never been there in the first place.
Uh, yeah... I think you got it all backwards, my friend.

Didn't really bother me but it does make me wonder how Sony feels internally.
They nailed it with their messaging about DRM, indies, price, etc. but after E3 and Gamescom I think it's fair to say their launch lineup and even 2014 lineup aren't looking that great right now.
I almost wonder if they're taking potshots to sort of mask that they don't have much in the works for the next year. Try to make the other guys look worse essentially.

Its arrogance now to point out where your competitor has fucked up royally?
It does matter when you're looking to shell out several hundred dollars on one console or the other. Sony came out of the gate with a clear vision and message. MS did the same, it blew up in their faces and they've been moving towards the PS4 position ever closer every day. Sony is more than justified in pointing that out.
Its not like they stomped their feet and called MS a bunch of poopyheads.

I thought it really needed to be said by Sony, and Microsoft needed to hear it. It was a great selling point for Sony. Sony HAS had a consistent focus from the moment they announced the PS4. How many 180's has Sony made? How many changes have they announced since the system was revealed? I cannot think of any. Most people will say, "well, Sony hasn't had to make changes" and that's correct, but only because they had a plan, stuck to it, and followed through to this point.
Microsoft has changed their focus, their policies, whats in the box, and where it will release. It is hard to jump in bed with Microsoft right now and feel 100% confident in what they are doing. Its easier to feel better, but completely confident?

I'm just hoping Microsoft comes back with their own dig during their live streaming press conference...
That's coming soon, right?
already done and still no release date for the xbone.

How so? It was a simple joke that probably most people wont hear, or forget about in a week or so. Sony's offering is the same regardless if this joke was said or not.
